Who are we? 

Seven Bridges democratizes access to high-value biomedical data and delivers end-to-end solutions through expansive datasets, cloud-optimized workflows, secure infrastructure, and the scientific expertise of our bioinformatics team. As a key component of the national research infrastructure for NIH institutes and industry-leading commercial partners, we provide the scale, reliability, and scientific support needed to drive discovery, enable collaboration across disciplines, and speed the path from data to diagnostics and therapies. 

As a Velsera company, we unify technology-enabled solutions and scientific expertise to enable a continuous flow of knowledge across the global healthcare ecosystem. 

As a Program Manager you will report to Director of Programs. The Program Manager will play an important role in advancing Velsera's mission to improve human health globally through multi-omics and insights. They will lead or co-lead one or more Programs within Velsera’s portfolio - spanning engagements with non-profit, advocacy, and government entities. Recent examples of Programs include but are not limited to implementations of our Seven Bridges Platform for the National Cancer Institute’s Cancer Research Data Commons for which we provide the Cancer Genomics Cloud, and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s BioData Catalyst., both of which serve as the relevant NIH Institutes premier analysis environment for the data they steward.  

Fundamentally, Seven Bridges Program Managers are empathetic, strong communicators who excel at managing and organizing large, complex initiatives with multiple stakeholders and external collaborators. They strike a balance between maintaining structure to ensure project deliverables are met and being flexible to change when priorities change. They keep the big picture in focus by integrating goals and project milestones from multiple initiatives across the company and community, defining and clearly communicating priorities, and ultimately ensuring that the products we build make research easier and faster for the scientific communities we serve. Importantly, Program Managers at Velsera develop deep, long-term relationships with our clients, serving as platform and industry expert, and helping to guide decision making collaboratively with client staff to best evolve our programs and technologies to suit emerging needs.
